Video of reef tank tips

[lacrosseboss18]

my local reef club is having a frag swap and they wanted me to take some pictures and video footage of the even.
Would love some info on how to get the best video footage of tanks. A lot of the tanks will be running blue lights so maybe I’ll need some filters?
Thanks for the help

Any recommendations for filters to get. Also any that clip onto the lens rather then holding them on?

 

[Robert McCreary]

yeah amazon has phone gel lenses some even come with magnifying macro lens
they just clip on the phone or you can buy the camera lens type for dslr-slr

What will you be shooting with ? video cam or mobile phone?
a filter might be needed for tanks with bluer lighting for sure.
if shootign with a phone it would be great if you can get one of the phone gimbles, I use the Dji Osmo mobile and it s great for giving steady videos, try to work with it for an houor or two before the frag party to be used to it.
